Instead of me posting all the RPI ratings of teams of interest, here is the link and it is live:

Thanks Raiderrunt. I see where the Horizon League has a RPI of 26. Oakland, Milwaukee, and NKU are three of the worst teams in the country. Does WSU have any chance at an at-large bid in baseball?

No, probably not. If the Raiders won three games out of six from the MSU and Auburn series and two of three at WKU they probably would.

Well, my plans to attend a Raiders game this week was flushed down the crapper when the NCAA panicked or maybe didn't think through their ban on collegiate sporting events. Gish, I hope things get better or the NCAA comes to their senses.

Not that it means anything now, but Wright State's RPI is/was 17.

I saw this on Twitter and it is pretty interesting. The University of Nebraska-Omaha from the Summit League is building a new baseball/softball stadium. The fields are side by side with a common concourse. The whole Complex is more than $23 million, the baseball part is probably $15 million. They are using a hybrid state of the art Field Turf instead of grass. It looks like it will be a little different than WSU's field. I think UNO is a peer institution, but their baseball program is not a peer program. They just went to their first Regional in 2019 and went 0-2. The entire complex is paid for with donations and a donor promised to cover any operating losses for the first five years. There will be seating for 1500 for the baseball field

Anyway, the arms race in college baseball is on.

Louisiana Tech is also building a new baseball complex and it will seat about 2500.

This is what Georgia Tech is doing with their renovated baseball stadium. The cost is $9 million. Now Georgia Tech is out of our league in terms of resources, but we still have to compete against them.
